Poll: The best pathway to stability - a degree or a trade?
According to Universities New Zealand, people with university degrees generally earn more over their careers. But trades have two big advantages: you can start earning right away, and skip the mountain of student debt.
Right now, the job market isn’t looking too flash. On top of that, AI is changing industries faster than anyone expected, making the future feel uncertain for many.
For today’s high school students, it’s a tough call: take on debt for a degree that might pay off later, or jump straight into a trade that pays now but could have different long-term prospects.
So, with all that in mind, Trade or Degree? Or is this an unfair dichotomy?

32.8% Trade - immediate returns and financial stability

-
41.3% Neither guarantees success - luck and work ethic is more important
-
16.4% Why does it have to be one or the other?
